Osteoporosis is a disease classified by the alteration of bony microarchitecture predisposing a person to fragility fractures. This costs the US $19 billion per year and is expected to rise as our population ages. Only 20% of patients with fragility fractures receive treatment for osteoporosis. A Fracture Liaison Service is a cost-effective way to follow patients and improve appropriate work up and management from multiple medical disciplines.
骨质疏松症是一种因骨微结构改变而导致个体易发生脆性骨折的疾病。该病每年给美国造成190亿美元的损失,且随着人口老龄化预计还会增加。仅有20%的脆性骨折患者接受骨质疏松症治疗。骨折联络服务是一种具有成本效益的方式,可用于跟踪患者,并改善来自多个医学学科的适当检查和管理。
